YAY The First Day!

This sweet family is new to Wylie ISD. Annie (the mom) was our babysitter in Lubbock when she was attending college at Texas Tech. The Vinson’s now have a a junior and senior at WHS and Annie has started her own family. Boy how time flies! We want her 1st grader and every student to say YAY THE FIRST DAY!

YIKES or YAY

YIKES or YAY are the two most common reactions from parents thinking about the first day of a new school for their kid. Both are positive, it means they care. Whitt Principal, Amber Teamann (pictured above) gets it.

Welcoming in new students is more than just meeting the Wolves, it’s about including them in as a part of our Whitt family, into the pack. We want them to feel connected and plugged in from the start and that includes the moms and dads and extended families too!

YAY begins with great communication and we do our best to make that happen. Knowing the ropes is a great first step that begins with effective communication.

GETTING STARTED

Wylie ISD created a web page designed specifically for new families. Click on the picture below to access this page.

We provide a great web page with links to district programs, resources, guides to help guide your journey as well. Click on the link below to access that information.

Each school is responsible for keeping information up to date. If you are new to a campus, the BEST place to stay up to date your campus website.

When you hear about a smore in Wylie ISD, it may not be the delicious chocolate and marshmallow campfire treat.

Smores is the program nearly every campus uses to post their weekly/bi-weekly newsletter full of useful information.

Take home fliers are a part of every school experience. Wylie parents receive these fliers electronically from Peachjar. You control how often you get notices, and from which schools.

Signing up is easy…just click the little peach icon. One account works for all 20 Wylie ISD schools.

Both of our children attend WISD with Dr. Vinson leading the way and we could not be more pleased! The district's focus on academics and good character are evident daily. Our son was identified early as a student with dyslexia but through appropriate intervention, he recently achieved straight A’s in advanced classes! Our daughter also excels thanks to Wylie ISD and their emphasis on academic excellency. As a volunteer in the schools I see the focus on being a caring, giving citizen a natural part of the learning experience. Students receive consistent accolades for demonstrating empathy and kindness throughout the day! Thank you to the Wylie ISD for being a district that emphasizes academics and caring.
